Application filed January 9, 1917. Serial No. 141,458.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ELIZABETH F. VIL- KoMERsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Fountain-Pens, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to article carrying devices and more particularly to pencil and pen carriers, and has for one of its objects the provision of a device of this class that may be attached to a garment and securely hold the article against accidental misplacement.

Another object is the provision of a device comprising a garment engaging member and a pen engaging member and having means for locking the pen engaging member in position on the garment engaging member.

The carrier described herein is an improvement over the carriers described and shown in my United States Patents Numbers 1,133,897, and 1,166,282, granted March 30,1915 and December 28, 1915,respectively, the principal improvement being a locking member and finger engaging means for releasing said locking member.

Other objects and advantagessuch as simplicity, cheapness in manufacture and the general improvement of the art will be more fully brought out in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Referringmore particularly to the draw ings the numeral 1 designates a fountain pen having a member 2 of my device thereon. An ear 3 having an aperture 1 therein is formed on the member 2.

A garment engaging member 5 adapted to receive and hold the member 2 comprises a body portion 6, an upwardly extending member 7 terminating in a tongue 8. A locking means is formed by a downwardly extending member 9 having a spring formation 10 at its junction with the body portion 6. Finger engaging portions 11 extend outwardly at the side of the member 9 and body portion 6.

Lugs 12 are cut from the body portion 6 and bent back and a pin 13 is'pivoted therebetween. The pin 13 is adapted to be secured in a catch 14,

Theoperation of the device is as follows: The member 6 is secured to the garment by the pin 13 and the member 2 is secured to the member 6 by passing the tongue 8 through the aperture 4 in the ear 3. .The ear 3 is now locked in position under the member 9.

To release the parts the portions 11 are grasped and member 9 from the path of the ear allow its ready removal.
